A Rare Visitor

I just never know what I might see as I glance out any window of my house at any time of day, or night.

Late this evening, near dusk, I took a quick glimpse and noticed a surprise visitor…a male Eastern Towhee.

I have had towhees in my yard before, but those stopovers have been rare.  I am glad to see a return of this particular bird to my sanctuary.

The male is so distinctive, the colors of the feathers so bold.…the black is black, the white is white, and the brown is brown - pure hues, no muting or blending of color here.

I like the conspicuous simplicity.
